Overview

These brass-plated piano hinges are perfect for a variety of applications. They feature screw-holes every 2" on center and slotted end holes for easy alignment and installation. To install slotted piano hinges just drive the screws into the elongated slots first, which allows you to adjust the hinge right and left. Once you have achieved the perfect position, drive screws through the standard round holes for final installation.

I am buying this to make (3) blanket chests for my daughters, and the plane calls for this kind of hinge. The price is reasonable, and it is supposed to come complete with the screws. I trust the quality out of Rockler.

I was working on some bifold closet doors. The doors were somewhat heavy and had a reoccurring alignment problem.The center of the doors had three 3"X 1 1/2"hinges. I noticed that the hinges were wearing and slipping down from the load. I ordered a full length piano hinge to solve this problem

i plan a 6 foot tall workshop cabinate on casters -- sized 2' x 2' square made with 3/4 inch birch plywood and 4 shelves inside. Thinking about using the hinge vertically on door. the dor will have NO shelves just the weight of the plywood door panel. Will the weight of a 6' tall x 2' wide door of 3/4 inch birch plywood be adequately supported by the 1 1/2 inch piano hinge? Will 4 feet length be adequate or should i install full 6 foot length hinge? thanks

BEST ANSWER:Yes, these can be cut and shortened. You need to do some other work to them after they are cut, They are best cut at a slot in the knuckle. I use a small belt sander to smooth the cut and round off the sharp points and remove any burrs. A file will also do the job. I shorten the pin by knocking it out a bit and cutting it with a pair or cutting pliers. Tuck the shortened pin back into the knuckle then lightly crimp the ends with a small hammer. Do a quick sanding or filing to remove any burs you created in the process. Close the hinge and spray a light coat of spray paint to the cut surface to keep it from rusting. Open the hinge and wipe away any excess paint that runs to the inside. When smoothing the ends try to keep them square so they will mortise well. It is a good way to save money on hinges.

I need a strong hing to mount up and down not horizontal. It is to be used in a pantry for swinging out and will have can goods on each shelve. I think the shelves are about 12 or 14 inches wide and have 5 shelves so one door of shelves would have about 20 pounds total thinking one shelve holds 4 cans 16 oz ea times 5. So could these hinges support that weight?

BEST ANSWER:I used them for a cedar chest top and the were mounted horizontal. The top weighs at least 20 pounds but it is horizontal and shows absolutely no stress. I would not be afraid to mount them vertically as long as the wood would support the weight. I believe the hinge quality would handle it.

BEST ANSWER:The metal is a very thin gauge and the hinge is quite narrow. I was not able to use it for my purpose because it did not seem to lack the strength I needed and because of the narrowness the screws were very close to the edges of the wood.

BEST ANSWER:I ordered a 3' brass finished piano hinge and needed to cut about 1/8" off to make it fit for my project. The cut was successful. It left about 3/16" of the hinge pin and rolled part of the hinge.Norm D on March 14, 2018

BEST ANSWER:Hack Saw to the size you want. Use a file to take off the sharp edges. Make sure to put the screws in a small ziplock bag and tape to the remaining hinge so you know where they are when you need them.

BEST ANSWER:When you Google "cabinet door hinges", most of the hinges shown don't look like piano hinges. I guess you could use them for a cabinet door but I don't think I would. Also, I was surprised that the one side of the hinge doesn't open all the way flush with the other side of the hinge in both directions - this made it a little difficult to decide how to mount it on the chest I made. I recommend going to a hardware store and playing with a piano hinge to see how it works before buying one.

I need to hinge a portion of an old oak interior door (probably 1896) since I've replaced the old wall tank toilet with one that sticks out further into the small toilet room (and no, a round bowl toilet wouldn't have helped the situation). Now the bathroom door can't shut inward. I can't do a pocket door, don't want to reverse the hinges for an outside swing, so I thought I could just make a hinged cutaway for a portion of the bottom of the 5 panel door so that it would clear the new toilet and be able to swing back for a full shut of the door. Will a piano hinge support that bottom portion of the door and if so, do I need to inset the hinge or just screw it to the top of the door panels? What size/heft of a piano hinge do I need, or should I just hinge on the one or two cross pieces of the door instead?

BEST ANSWER:Piano hinges come in 36" and 48" lengths. I assume you don't need a hinge that long. Also, I'm not sure how you plan to use a piano hinge on a 5-panel door where the thickness of the door changes. I would use regular hinges on two of the cross pieces..

Looks great on a restored Art Deco cedar chest and does an excellent job of replacing the original (missing) hinges, which were complicated and impossible to find workable replacements for. It was easy to cut to the right length and make the cut invisible using a fine-bladed hacksaw and fine-toothed metal file. I used round-head antique brass screws (#6, 5/8&quot;) that are a perfect match, both esthetically and mechanically.

Very good company, they sell top quality products and when they do make a mistake they rectify it quickly. I have been very happy with their products and their service. I have already recommended them to several friends. And I love going to their store whenever I am outside of Alaska.

I found Rockler on line and would highly endorse this company as a great place to do business. My first order with Anthony was like working with an old friend. This company is dedicated 100% towards customers satisfaction. Thank you.

Hinge is just as advertised, and what you expect from Rockler, perfect! Used in connection with the toy box lid supports, it made a BIG toy box work fine. My wife said he'll be inside it more often than outside. Works for me...

I can't buy 36&quot; piano hinges around here so Rockler saves the day for the second time (second toy box). The screw holes need to be countersunk and the slot is to wide for those particular screws to do much good. This hinge works good w/ the toy box lid supports which create an enormous amount of stress on the hinges. Good product, fair price.

The combination of the antique brass piano hinge and the toy box lid supports combined to make an easy and smooth opening lid on this solid oak custom toy box. With a folding chalk board easel, and inlaid toy block letter this bench style toy box will be a family heirloom for years. I was very happy with the General Finishes line of stain and Arm-R-Seal topcoat.

I make boxes and cut down these hinges to fit the individual boxes. I go through 40 to 60 feet of these hinges a year and buy them in 4 foot lengths.

Here is what I like about these hinges: The knuckles fit tightly about the pin so there is no slop in the movement when I cut them smaller. The pins are not so hardened that I can't cut through them. They are a consistent size so I can set my router up for mitering them in and leave it set.

Here is what I don't like about these hinges: The brass plating is not the best quality and is easily damaged. No extra screws come with the hinge. For my work, the slots are not needed and look cheap when used in a box. I try to cut the slots out.

I can't afford to put $50 into Brasso hinges for the boxes I sell. The local market won't support the cost, so I use these instead. Box hinges cost me about $5 an inch and support the lids with a sturdy, reliable fit. The steel screws are sturdy and the heads don't strip out if you are careful to use the correct size of Phillips head driver.
